Adjustable Air Amplifier With Gauged Markings from Nex Flow™
Adjustable Air Amplifier from Nex Flow™ with gauged markings are used for a variety of applications - available in anodized aluminum and marked to accurately set the gap from 0 to 1.5 mm.
Adjustable Air Amplifier with gauged markings are easy to mount and maintain. Compressed air consumption and noise levels are reduced.
Adjustable Air Amplifier with gauged markings take energy from a small volume of compressed air to produce high velocity, high volume, low pressure output airflow.
Adjustable Air Amplifier with gauged markings is quiet, efficient and can amplify flows up to 16 times the input air consumption rate.
Air Booster and Air Pressure Amplifiers:
An Air Amplifier with gauged marking is an Air Booster. They convert pressure to flow and are “flow” amplifiers. They are NOT Air Pressure Amplifiers.
Dust Collection System and Vent Smoke and Fumes:
Air amplifiers have been used as a dust collection system and to vent smoke and fumes from all types of equipment.
Dry Air Coolers:
Air amplifiers can be used as dry air coolers by blowing amplified airflow onto tubes of hot gas (normally air) to cool them.
Part Ejection System and Chip Removal System and Part Drying System:
Air Jets and Air Nozzles are excellent as a Part Ejection System, Chip Removal System and as a Part Drying System when air knives or amplifiers are not suitable.
A large volume of surrounding air is induced into the amplifier at point (A) by the action of a small amount of compressed air which enters the annular chamber at point (B) that is then throttled through a small ring nozzle at high velocity and into the inside of the amplifier over a coanda profile. The compressed air stream clings to the coanda profile as it enters the inside walls of the amplifier and thereby creating a vacuum that induces the outside air converting the pressure into amplified airflow. The amplified of airflow leaves at the exit at point (C). Airflow is further amplified downstream at point (D) by entraining additional air from the surroundings at the exit.

Adjustable Air Amplifier Ducting
Both the inlet (vacuum intake) and discharge ends may be ducted for light material and fume conveying applications. Care must be taken to avoid unnecessary restrictions that will cause back pressure or suction resistance that will reduce performance levels. Keep back pressure and resistance to under 2" of water column.
Adjustable Air Amplifier Applications Replace fans, used for blow-off, cleaning, drying, cooling and conveying.
Automotive:
Remove water, coolant, dust, and scrap in parts manufacturing/assembly operations. Cool enamel and water based paints in parts manufacturing, auto body shops or assembly lines.
Bottling:
Blow off of water from the tops of cans, bottles prior to labeling, ink jetting, palletizing or packaging. Conveying light materials.
Chemicals:
Blow off of chemicals or water prior to labeling or packaging.
Food:
Remove water from product or packaging.
General Manufacturing:
Part ejection, fume removal, dust and liquid blow off from all types of parts, conveying away waste, ideal for replacing fans in some cooling operations such as tempering glass.
Metals:
Coolant and other liquid removal on process lines from Aluminum, Steel, Brass or other materials. Dry metals prior to other operations such as plating or polishing. Cool metal parts prior to coating or painting. Coolant mist removal. Boost vacuum systems to remove grinding dust. Cool steel forgings.
Paper & Lumber:
Sawdust removal and control by boosting the vacuum system, dust removal. Trim removal in converting applications.
Plastic:
Dust and scrap blow off. Cool moldings after extrusion, then blow off and dry prior to forming.
Printing:
Cooling to set some inks, scrap blow off.
Pharmaceutical:
Remove liquid prior to labeling or packaging waste removal for solid materials. Extract unfilled capsules by vacuum as they pass on a conveyor.
Textile:
Scrap and trim removal on textiles to eliminate expensive vacuum systems.
Adjustable Air Amplifier With Gauged Markings Specifications
Constructed of anodized aluminum with two standard outlets (outside) diameters: 1-1/4" (31mm), 2" (51mm),
Come standard with a .002" (.05mm) gap. If greater air force is required, the gap is adjustable from 0 to1.5mm and easily set using the markings on the air amplifier and held in place after setting with a lock ring.
